Lyrics
Honey, you do me wrong but still I'm crazy about you
Stay away too long and I can't do without you
Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more
But each hurt makes my love stronger than before
I know flowers go through rain, but how can love go through pain?
Ain't that peculiar? (Ain't that peculiar?)
A peculiarity (ain't that peculiar?)
Ain't that peculiar, babe? (Ain't that peculiar?)
Peculiar as can be (ain't that peculiar?)
Oh, you tell me lies that should be obvious to me
But I'm so much in love with you, baby, 'til I don't want to see
I got things you do and say are designed to make me blue
It's a doggone shame, my love, for you makes all your lies seem true
But if the truth makes love last longer
Why do lies make my love stronger? (Stronger, stronger, stronger, stronger)
Ain't that peculiar, babe? (Ain't that peculiar?)
Peculiar as can be (ain't that peculiar?)
Ain't that peculiar? (Ain't that peculiar?)
A peculiarity (ain't that peculiar?)
Hey, hey
Ah-ah-ah (ah-ah-ah)
Hey, hey (hey, hey)
Ah-ah-ah (ah-ah-ah)
Hey, hey (hey, hey)
Ah-ah-ah (ah-ah-ah)
Ah-ah-ah (ah-ah-ah) ooh
I cried so much just like a child that's lost its home
Maybe, baby, you think these tears I cry are tears of joy
A child can cry so much until you do everything they say
But unlike a child my tears don't help me to get my way
I know love can last through years
But how can love last through tears? (Tears, tears, tears, tears)
Ain't that peculiar, babe? (Ain't that peculiar?)
Peculiarity (ain't that peculiar?)
Ain't it peculiar, honey? (Ain't that peculiar?)
Peculiar as can be (ain't that peculiar?)
Said I don't understand it baby (ain't that peculiar?)
It's so strange sometimes (ain't that peculiar?)
Ain't it peculiar, darling? (Ain't that peculiar?)
